If you take pride in doing things right, know your way around a forklift, and want to work somewhere that will invest in your future, keep reading.

Conklin Metal Industries has been in business since 1874 and is still family owned and operated. We distribute sheet metal, HVAC, and duct fabrication supplies from 17 warehouses across the Southeast. Our Nashville branch is looking for a Warehouse Associate who is ready to show up, work hard, and grow with us.

We mean that last part. Warehouse Associates at Conklin have gone on to become Shipping Leads, Receiving Leads, Warehouse Managers, Inside Sales Representatives, Branch Managers, and Operations Managers. If you want a path, we have one. But it starts on the warehouse floor, and it starts with doing the basics exceptionally well.

We are located at 1150 Antioch Pike, Suite 250, Nashville, TN 37211, in the Antioch area off I-24 on the south side of Nashville. If you are commuting from Antioch, Smyrna, Murfreesboro, Brentwood, or the surrounding South Nashville area, you are in a great location. Our 7:00 AM start time also helps you get in and out ahead of the worst Nashville traffic.

Your day will move quickly, and no two days will look exactly the same. You’ll help keep our operation running smoothly from the time product comes through the door until it leaves on a truck.
